To all 'whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, WILLIAM W. ROBLYER,

a c itizen of the United States of-Amerlca, residing at Clearwater,

in the county of Sedgwick and State of Kansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Automatic Chan e-Makers, of which the following is a speci cation.

' The invention relates to coin-handling devices, and it consists ofthe reteptacles for holding the coin, devices for receiving the coin, and devices for delivering thef coin, the

latter beingnormally locked and being adapted to become unlocked by the `coperation of a coin-receiving device and.- the corresponding coin. Another invention of simi- Aupon the p .tioned lar nature 1s shown 1n -Patent No. 771,326,

dated October 4, 1964, granted to me for improvementsin change-makers. n V

v Objeetsrof the invention are to improve generally lilpon'change-makers; to improve evice by other currency than coin, such' as bills;V to provide for the proper recording of all transactions; to'provlde for automatically marking the receptacle in which the bill is placed: with theinitial or .other designating mark' of the clerkor other party inserting such bill; in brief,` to provide change, but will also keep a check upon the parties who operate it, in order to reduce to a minimum the possibility of improperly Withdrawing funds therefrom or improperly failing to deposit the necessary funds therein.`

he invention-consists of the novel combinations, parts, and improvements, 'the pre-y ferred form of the embodiment whereof is deshown in the accompanying drawings forming the machine, the front removed and some of t part of this speciiication.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a series -offour coin tubes vor receptacleswithy the mechanism located inthe forward parts of art of the case being e arts being shown in section. Fig. 2 is a si e elevation of the mechanism co eratingA with the ten-cent tube, some of th) itself, being shown 1n sections Fig. 3 is a top view'v of the recording devices and indicator operating mechanism. Fig. 4 isa top view o the rear end of. lever 34, simply to s howthe off-'set or bend therein. Fig. 5 is a central section (from front to rear) of the dollar tube.

vice shown in the above-meuf atent; to provide for the operationscribed and claimed in this specification and e parts, including the tube i Fig. 6 is a section thereof through line 6-6, Fig. 1. Fig. 7 is also a sectional view intended to show the front'and back sides of the receiving mechanism, taken approximately on the line 7-7, Fig. 5. Fig. 8 is a side elevation of the mechanism coperating with the twoedollar tube, said tube and some of the parts being shown in section. Fig. 9 is a view thereof intended to show the front slide and adjacent parts, some in section.

Fig. 11 is a top view of the carrier in which the two-dollar .bill is inserted, which carrier is intended to be inserted in the. tube in the' same manner as the coins are inserted in the other tubes. Fig. 12 lis a sectional view thereof.l Figs. y13, 14, 1 5 and 16 are details of the lock and hand-key for use in connection with thetubes above the dollar tube. Fig- "13 is a section through the line 13-13 Fig.

15. Fig. 1-4 is a vertical central section from Vfront to rear. Fig. 15 is a top view. And

Fig. 16 shows .the hand-key.

To a 4 plate 1 within theY case (not here shown), are secured a number of tubes, each Fig. 10` is a .front view, the tube and corresponding in inner diameter to the coin NowinV designed` for the two-dollar bills, A, for the dollars, B, for the dimes, C, and for the nipkels, D, but from these the manner of simply adding to or deducting from the total number of tubes desired will be readily understood. Each tubeyis rovided with a receiving chute .2 into which the coin is in-` serted and down which it passes onto the plate 3 and infront of the back slide 4 o era'ted by lever 5. They front end of the sli e 4 is concaved, or semi-circular in contour, as shown in Fig. 7, to correspond to the contour of the coin intended to be inserted in the receiving chute. This constitutes the first ste The operation of lever 5 and back sli e 4 throws the coin forward onto the second step 6 in front of front slide 7 operated-by lever 8, and raises the pawl 9 so that the front slide 7 may be pushed toward the tube by lever 8, it being understood that the front slide and the lever 8 are normally locked against motion toward the coin tube by said pawl 9. The operation of lever 8 now throws the coin into the tube, under plate 3. At the bottom of each tube is a coin delivering slidev the rocker 12 and the other by the rocker 11. Rocker 13 extends along in front of the tengages between two cent tubes and. on along in front of all the other tubes to and including the dollar tube. The; rockers 11 and `12 also extend along in front of all the other tubes above the tencent tube to andl including the dollar tube. The slides for the dollar tube are operated by rockers 14, l5, 16, and 17 respectively, which extend along in front of all the tubes above the dollar tube; and the slide for the twodollar tube is operated by the rocker 18 which extends along in front of all the other tubes above the two dollar tube. The several rockers are connected to the slides by pins 20, 20, and may be hung on the pivoted hangers 19, 19, swung from the frame portion 200, 200.

Lever 5 is pivoted to a bracket 21 and has an arm 23 connected t'o a bell-crank lever 25 by rod 24. The bell-crank-lever is pivoted on a bracket 47 and has a pin 26 which enpins 27, 27 of the slide 28 which operates between the front plate 29 of the frame of casing and the cleats 30. Lever 8 is pivoted to bracket' 22 and its lower end is provided with the laterally extending pin 31. A series of key-levers are provided, to-wit: 32, 33, 34, 35, 3c, 37, 33,39, and 4o. nach lever is provided with a hook 41 to engage pin 31 when the key lever is depressed and drawn forward, but it is seen that the pin 31 is free to move forward without drawing the hook 41 with it. Hooks 41 ,v 41, it is noted, oper-` ate the coin-receiving mechanism. The coindelivering mechanism is operated by hooks 43, 43, on the depending bars 42, 42 secured to the several key-levers. Thus lever 34 operates the five-cent delivery slide; lever 35 operates two of the ten-cent slides through rockers 11 and 12; lever 36 operates the fivecent slide lever 38 operates a single ten-cent slide; lever 39 operates one of the four dollar -slides, the other dollar slides being ada )ted to be operated by other key-levers not 1ere shown. -Levers 32, 37, 33, and 40 are not connected with any of the delivery slides but lonly with the receiving mechanism.l The key-levers are slidably pivoted in the plate 44 which runs the full length of the machine behind all of the tubes. Each is sustained and returned to normal position by a compression spring 45 supported on a bracket`46, and each works in a slot 48 in the slide 28, so that when any one of the levers is depressed, it will depress the lslide28 and thereby operate lever 5, as heretofore explained. lt is to be understood that there is a slide 28 for each tube, so as to operate the lever 5 and receiving mechanism for that tube when any of the key-levers for that tube is operated. Fingers 49, 49 may be provided for the keylevers. The purpose of having two ten-cent slides and four dollar slides is in order to effect the change commonly calling for either two dimes or for from one to four dollais";"'for instance, where the purchase is eighty cents and a dollar be given in pay'inent, and where the purchase is one dollar and a five-dollar bill be given in payment. h

Through the two plates 56, 60 which extend the full length of the machine, are slidably mounted a series of punch bars 51, 51, each provided with 'a punch 52, normally disengaged from the die 53. Above the punch bars is a shaft 54 on which are mounted a series of levers 56, 56, one for each punch bar, The upper arm of each lever 56 is connected by link 55 to bell crank lever 57, pivoted to shaft 58, and connected by link 59 to plunger 61 on which is mounted a purchase indicator 62, or 63, the plungers operating through the frame portion 64. There is one indicator and one lever 56 and one set of connecting mechanism as just described for each punch-bar. i

In front of and above shaft 54 is a rod 66 extending the full length of the machine, and depending therefrom and in front of each lever 56 is an arm 67. At the end of the shaft 66 is an arm 68 connected by link '69 to arm 70 on shaft 73, and on said arm 7 0 is a pawl 71 adapted to propel th"- ratclmt72 0n a pivot 74 is secured a lever 75, which acts as a iolding pawl for the ratchet, and also which has at the other end a ball 76 adapted to contact with a bell .7 7, so that as the ratchet is progressed the bell rings. Below shaft 73 is another shaft 78 around which the record f sheet 79 (extending the full length behind all of the unch-bars), is first turned then )assed up in front of die 53 and then around shaft 73. Thus as the punch bars are o ierated as hereafter explained, the sheetl will be rolled up on shaft 7 3, making a uniform progress of one notch for each transaction, as will be explained.

To the plate 50 are secured a number of pivot brackets 80, 80 (one for each punchbar), to which are pivoted the levers 81, 81', which operate the punch-bars. On cach punch bar is an arm 82, a pawl 83 having a spring 84 to return it to normal position by engagement with4 pin 85. and a stop pin 86 for the pawl. lf `punch bar51 be forcedto die 5.3 to punch the record-sheet 59, pawl 86 will pass under the lower'end of lever 56,l

Vand arm 82 will come to arm 67 but without operating it. Now, o n returning punch bar 51 to initial position (supposing it to ,be the bar between lever 3 3 and indicator 62),the pawl 86 will engage the lower end of lever 56 and pull it along with it, so' as to force up the indicator 62, and said lever56 .will -also progress the lratchet 7 2' through'arm 67. The

- arms'67 being all ixedto shaft 66 will all be thrown tothe leftl. Crank 57 will be thrown around until it rests againstybuferrodj58f and beyond the dead-center: line between shaft 58 and the point ofthenpivotxof 59 and 61, thereby holding these parts in thatposi tion until returned by the. 'further operation of the unchbars, as will now be explained, If anot er lever, say 34, be operated, the ac- .tion of the punch-bar and indicator-operating vmechanism willbe .as follows: When the punch vbar for keyllever 34 be forcedjto die 53, arm 82 will -engagewithf that arm 67V which is provided orthat punch-bar, and, as all the arms 67 are xed to the shaft 66, the result is to return all the indicators and all the mechanisms between the indicators and the lever 56, yincludingsaid lever 56, to

ytheir norrnal position.l Upon-returning the;l

punch bar, theo eration 1s the sameas before, except that t e indicator (i3-is setup, in-

stead of indicator 6&2? Of course, the ,manner of progressing the ratchet one notch and ringing the bellfo'r each transaction,as well as recording the transaction on --the record sheet by punching it, lis evident fromthis ex-l planation. y

Thus far, the mechanisms' for all the tubes 40 are about the same. 4 I will now explain the devices rovided especially for the dollar tube, and) thereafter the devices provided especially for the' tubes higher than the dollar tube. ln the dollartube, B, the front slide 7 of the receiving mechanism' is" rovided" with a pawl 87 provided with a re 88, engaged by apin '89 extending from shaft 90,-

v so that when said pawl 87 is raised bythe turning, of the shaft 90, the lever 8 of the 5 0 dollar tube may be operated without cperat` v ing thesaid slide 7 of the `dollartuba Also', the dollar slide 7 is connected to one of the Unch-bars 51 by the side,rods 92, 92, cross ead 93, pin 94,.and `lever 81 (see Figs,l 5rand 55 7). The sh`aft 90, which may be `mounted in suitable bearings, as91' (Fig. 1), extends `from the dollar tube, where it has the 'pinorarm 89, as just explained, along in front offall the higher tubes, as indicated in Fig; 1.- j Allfof 6) the higher tubes are of substantially the same construction as the-two-dollarv tube, hence the description` of` that tube ywill sulice for' all'. The shaft 90 hasta "in 95 whiehnor- Inally extends downwar y into a recess `or depression '96 of theslide 17 of the `tmp-richer'- 'serted a slip 103 suitable for printing vo n. AThis carrier'may be opened and closed by any (herein shown as two).

` aswell as making asimilar suitable record 4upon the record sheet. Th locks E, E may be secured on brack-v 110 1565 SO-.hat normally the pin se essere position-'shewnin Fig, 5 5 but when the Slide 7 of the two-uollar tube is moved to the tube,l

the pin 95 raised and with it the shaft 90 is turned enough to carry pawl 87 clear of lever 8 o f the dollar tube, thereby permitting v that lever to be operated without operating the dollar slide 7. The two-dollar chute 2 has a shutter 9 7'which is connected by link f 98 to a pin 101 extending laterally from an -75 upright 1 'dd'99 slidably vextending through the frame portions 100, 100. For the twodollar billsI provide a carrier 102 (see Figs.

11 and 12,), in the upper side oi' which is 1n'- suitable means as by a hinge and s ring or hasp, and is used and operates in tile same manner as' a coin ofthe samesize and shape wouldbe used. and operated. The bill is to be inclosed inthe carrier by hand before the carrierlis inserted in 'the machine; and the purposejof lthe mechanism provided espehand-'key for their operation.,V Eachtube is `provided with as manylocks as there are A clerks or.persons to,` operate the machine In connection with each lock and hand-key is mechanism operable' therebyfor printing 4upon the carrier when it is inserted in the tube, the name or '105 vinitial or other suitable index of the clerk or person to whom that ,key has been given,

ets 104,v 104 or otherwise to answer the re quirernents of lsubstantial eonstruc'tlon, and each may be described as follows: In the 'case E is a plunger' G, the front end of which is slotted, 105, to admit of the insertion 11.5 therein `of the vhand-key 106. Transverse shallow, 107, and deeper, 10S, slots are cut across the case. In the shallow slots are se- -cured'the lugs 109, and in the deeper slots are pivoted the tumblers- 111 to rod 110. 120 The tuxnblers straddl'e the slot 105 and key 106, the end portions 112 thereof extending down into the-groovedfportion 115 of the plunver. On the otherslde 'of the slit 105,

\ the punger is also grooved to ermit the extenslon ofthe lugs and tuin 1ers :into the circledescrilbed by the plunger; The hand-v key is indented ,at 113,` 113, to corres ondk With the lugs,` the. other portions 1114: eing intended to raise the tumblers. Up'on 1n- 1-30 serting the key and turning it, theindented portions 113, 113 will pass the lugs 10,9, 109, and the other portions 114i, 111, will engage the tuniblers res pectively and raise them and free the ends 112 from groove 115 and point 117, thereby permitting the plunger' to be turned to do the work required of it, as will be explained. lt,.now a blank key be inserted and turned, it is seen that its upper edges will engage "the lugs 109 which will prevent its turning beyond a slight initial movement. And if a narrower key be inserted so as to escape the lugs, such key Would not raise the tumblers, so that in such case, the plunger could only be turned until the point or ledge 117 would engage with the ends 112, 112, of the tumblers. The relative locations of the lugs and tumblers may be changed in order to individualize the several locks, and keys may be provided accordingly. Of course, any other suitable lock and key may be )rovided, as I neither claim nor limit myself to any particular kind. If desired, aA spring,i

118,A (Fig. 8) may be provided to hold and return the lunger to normal position.

Pivoted in a bracket 119 on to lock is a rod 120, one end of Whic i, 121, is bent down 'into 4a ieeess 122 inthe lock case, and the other end of which, 123, engages the under side oli' the pin 124 of the rod 99, the purpose of,` this being that when the handey is inserted, it Wil raise the end 121 and, through ythe mechanism already described, open the shutter'97, this being an'additional safe-guard against improper manipulation of the machine. There is one rod 99 and shutter 97 for each carrier tube, and each is operable by a key inserted in any of the locks v for that particular tube.

Each plunger G is provided with an ai'm 124i which is connected by link 126 to belllcrank level' 127 which is connected to the printing plunger rod 128 inovably extending through bracket 129. Underneath each printing plunger 1.28, is an inking roller or Apad 130 suspendedon spring hangers 131, which hold and return said rollers or pads to their normal positions, but when the rods 12S are forced downwardly, the rollers 130, 130 are pressed to one side and into Contact with the larger replenishing inking rollers 132, whence the sup ly of ink is stored and pro cured for there lers 130.

. An u right rod 133 sustained on aspring .55 -135 an bracket 136 (Fig. 1) has a pin 134 which engages in a slot 134 in the back slide 4v ot the two-dollar tube. The rod also has a pin 137 for each arm 124'., so that when said plunger. Gzis turned by the hand-key, it will depress the' rod 133 and withdraw pin 134 from slot 134. Thus,the back-slide is normally locked, and becomes unlocked upon the turning of the hand-key in the lock, thereby recording uponthe carrier the name or initial o the donee -of that key. The

of each parts are so adjusted that arm'12t and link 126 must be thrown beyond the center line, so that the plunger 123 will not only come into complete engagement with the carrier as it'i'ests u )on the hrst step and print there- 70 on,'but will also by reason of the further movement ol said arm 124 be also slightly raised therefrom so as to permit the carrier to be sent to the next step without interference or binding. This complete movement must be made before back slide el becomes unlocked. It is understood, of course, that upon the lower end of the rod 12S, the proper initial type or rubber or other suitable matcrial is placed, to d o the printing herein referred to. The holder of a key will thus be held responsible for the contents of every carrier bearing his mark.

Each plunger G is also provided with another arm 133 which operates a bell-crank g5 lever 139 which is connected by a link 14() to lever 81 and punch-bar 51. Thus, it will be seenthat the record sheet, as well as the carrier. itself, will show not only what tube has been operated, but also, it will show who operated it, so far as the carrier tubes are concerned.

The various indicators may be marked in any suitable manner to indicate the transaction which is taking place. rFhus, in general, a black figure upon a red back-ground may indicate the coin inserted in the inachine, and a red iigure upon a black back* ground may indicate the coin 4or amount delivered.

n l Now, to explain the general operation of the machine, the inode of o )eration of the seveial parts having already een explained quite in detail: Suppose the amount of purchase be live cents, and the purchaser gives the'clerk anickel. The clerk inserts the nickel into the nickel tube D by first depressing key-levcr 32, then pulling it out, and then pushing it in again. This operation has the eect of raising the 'live-cent 110 indicator on which appears 5e or any suitable designation in black characters on a red background. New, the next purchase is also five cents, but the purchaser gives the clerk a dime. The clerk inserts the dime and operates lever 34, the result being to push the dime in thedime tube C, and delivering a nickel in change,l the indicator now shown being half red and half black, with the characters 10e upon the red'back-ground and the 120 characters 5c upon tl ie black back-ground, the

'first-operated, the Yfive-cenit indicator, having been returned. If the next purchase amount to 80 cents and a dollar be given, the clerk inserts the dollar in the dollar tube, and, operates lever 35, which, through the operation of rod 31, lever S, and other parts of the coin-receiving mechanism of the dollar tube, causes the dollar to fall into the dollar tube, and which, through the operation of the rocktus is more .fully en l\l o..77'1,326.v If t einext vpurchasebe one dollar and a tvvo-dollarbill be tenderedin payment, `the clerk inserts vthe bill in a carrier, inserts his keyingthe'p'roperlock, in'- serts the carrier, turns the-key,a nd operates torecord thedesignatlonl of' thev clerk `upon the carrier the lever 3 9, vthe eiect being aswell as upon the record`sheet,fraise the others, anddelive'ra dollarin change. 'j .It has been explained that upon operating the forward sli'de" 7 of the "twodollar tube,
